Gu Wuchen did not hide anything and told everyone what had happened.
" The Ice God's Second Trial has just begun. We need to take the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin, to the Fountain of Spring of Life in the Far North, use the Ice God Power to help her restore her original essence, and also cultivate a Ice Blue Silver Forest."
" Ah Yin? Tang San's mother?" Bo Saixi paused, then frowned. "The Blue Silver Emperor?"
"That's right."
Gu Wuchen said calmly.
All three of them were somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, this Second Trial was related to the Blue Silver Emperor, and Ah Yin had long been utterly disappointed in Tang Hao.
If that's the case, then it's simple.
There's nothing much to do here, so let's just head straight to Sunset Forest.
They immediately turned around and headed towards Sunset Forest.
The carriage sped through the night and soon arrived deep in the Sunset Forest.
Passing through layers of dense forest, the wondrous sight of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well came into view.
Two streams of air, one hot and one cold, intertwined, and various kinds of Immortal Herb grew freely by the spring, filling the air with a rich sense of life.
Gu Wuchen walked straight to the blue stone in the center of the spring.
A Blue Silver Grass, its roots firmly planted in a crack in the rock, was much thicker than it had been six months ago. Its leaves shimmered with a faint golden light, and it emanated a gentle life force. This was none other than Ah Yin's true form.
Sensing someone approaching, Ah Yin's leaves tensed instantly, and a faint blue light emanated from her body.
Only when she saw that the person who came was Gu Wuchen did she slowly relax, and the leaves swayed gently, as if to greet him.
Gu Wuchen crouched down and gently touched her leaves with his fingertips:
" Ah Yin, come with me to the Far North. I can restore your peak life essence within three months and allow you to transform into human form ahead of schedule."
Ah Yin's leaves trembled violently, clearly quite surprised.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ah Yin's main stem gently tapped the ground, indicating her agreement.
Gu Wuchen nodded, carefully using his Soul Power to protect her roots, and dug her out of the crack in the bluestone.
He put Ah Yin into his treasure bag.
"Alright, let's go." Gu Wuchen stood up. "Let's go back to Heaven Dou City to prepare first. We'll set off for the Far North tomorrow."
Bo Saixi and the other two nodded, then turned and left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with Gu Wuchen.
On the other side, Shrek Academy
Tang San sat on a rooftop of the Shrek Academy, trying to calm himself down by blowing in the cold wind.
Originally, everything was going well even though Gu Wuchen hadn't appeared.
Xiao Wu won't come back, and he's been constantly humiliated.
Even Zhu Zhuqing dared to humiliate him; it was utterly despicable.
Tang San sat on the roof, his hands clenched into fists.
The wind brushed his cheeks, but it couldn't dispel the humiliation and anger in his heart.
Why? Why is Gu Wuchen born with everything? Why is Zhu Zhuqing able to surpass him? He is the one who should be at the top!
The more he thought about it, the more he hated it, his fingernails digging deep into his flesh, bleeding without him even noticing.
Just then, a dark figure silently landed beside him.
Tang San suddenly looked up, his whole body tense, and he looked at the black-robed man in front of him warily.
The man in black robes exuded a cold aura, his face obscured, yet he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
The man in the black robe slowly removed his hood, revealing a weathered face.
" Little San time no see, mistress."
"Father?!"
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply, and he stood up abruptly, his voice trembling.
Looking at Tang Hao in front of him, the pent-up grievances he had been holding back for so long suddenly burst forth, and his eyes instantly reddened:
"Father..."
Seeing his son's haggard appearance, Tang Hao felt a pang of guilt. He reached out and gently patted Tang San's shoulder.
"I know everything. Father has seen everything about Gu Wuchen and Zhu Zhuqing."
"It's because your father is useless that you've suffered so much."
Tang San lowered his head, biting his lip without saying a word.
"But it's alright." Tang Hao's voice became firm. "Your father came back this time to help you. I'll take you somewhere to see your mother."
"Mother?" Tang San suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Mother... she's still alive?"
"She's still alive." Tang Hao nodded. "After you've seen your mother, I'll take you to the Blue Silver Forest. There, I'll help you complete the Second Awakening of your Blue Silver Martial Soul, giving you true power."
"At that time, no one will be able to bully you anymore. Gu Wuchen and Zhu Zhuqing will both be trampled under your feet."
Tang San's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had grasped at a lifeline.
He nodded vigorously, his voice choked with emotion:
"Okay! Father, I'll go with you!"
Tang Hao smiled with satisfaction and took Tang San's hand:
"Let's not delay, let's go now."
The two leaped off the roof and disappeared into the night.
Unbeknownst to them, the valley where Ah Yin was hidden was already deserted.
What awaits them is only deeper despair.
The next morning, Gu Wuchen, along with Bo Saixi and the other two, packed their belongings and set off for the Far North.
As we headed north, the temperature dropped lower and lower.
The vegetation gradually thinned out, until finally only an endless expanse of white snow remained.
The cold wind howled, and it felt like knives on my face.
After half a day, they finally arrived at the core area of Far North.
This is a world of ice and snow. The sky is a pure, icy blue, the earth is covered with thick snow, and even the air seems frozen.
The distant snow-capped mountains stretched endlessly, gleaming brilliantly white in the sunlight.
Gu Wuchen stopped and carefully took out Ah Yin's true form from his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.
The blue Blue Silver Grass stood out vividly against the white snow.
Ah Yin's leaves gently unfurled, curiously observing everything around her.
She grew up in the warm south and had never seen such a snowy world.
The glistening snowflakes landed on her leaves, slowly melting and bringing a touch of coolness.
She never imagined that she would one day come to a place like this.
Everything before my eyes felt like a dream.
"This is the Far North," Gu Wuchen said softly. " The Spring of Life lies just ahead."
"I need your help to complete the Ice God's Second Trial. In exchange, I will use the Ice God Power, combined with the power of the Spring of Life, to completely repair your damaged life essence, allowing you to recover to your peak condition within three months and transform into human form ahead of schedule."
Ah Yin's leaves trembled suddenly, and the main stem lifted slightly, carrying a hint of disbelief.
She could clearly sense the faint, divine aura emanating from Gu Wuchen.
" God Trial... You actually received the inheritance of a god?"
Ah Yin's voice rang directly in everyone's minds, filled with obvious shock.
Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast has lived for far too long and has seen far too many things.
She knew better than anyone how rare and precious the opportunity to God Trial was.
Throughout the entire continent, only a handful of people can pass the God Trial.
Gu Wuchen nodded:
"That's right. This assessment requires the two of us to work together. Ultimate Ice power and life power are inherently incompatible, but if controlled properly, they can create a miracle of ice and blue symbiosis."
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. After the assessment, you will not only be able to recover to your peak condition, but you will also possess a portion of the Ice God Power. No one will be able to hurt you easily after that."
Ah Yin's leaves swayed gently, without the slightest hesitation.
